Thin-Wall Plastic Injection Molding Solution - The Perfect Realization Of Efficient Production
Revolutionizing thin-wall injection molding for maximum efficiency and quality
Top Unite provided a 320-ton energy-saving plastic injection molding machine to a professional food container manufacturer in South Africa, successfully enabling the rapid mass production of 1-gallon thin-wall (0.7mm) peanut butter containers. Through precise control and technical optimization, we reduced the production cycle to 9 seconds (12 seconds with in-mold labeling, IML), significantly enhancing the client’s efficiency and competitiveness.
This collaboration not only earned high recognition from the client but also established Top Unite as their preferred supplier for future equipment purchases.
CUSTOMER BACKGROUND AND CASE DESCRIPTION
The South African client specializes in manufacturing food containers, particularly thin-wall containers. Due to the unique characteristics of thin-wall products, the injection molding machine must feature high injection pressure, high injection speed, and precise control to inject molten plastic into the mold within an extremely short time while ensuring product consistency and integrity.
However, the client’s existing equipment could not meet the demands of high-efficiency production. Upon recommendation from their mold supplier, the client approached Top Unite for a more stable and reliable solution.
SOLUTION: HIGH-EFFICIENCY INJECTION MOLDING DESIGNED FOR THIN-WALL FOOD CONTAINERS
Equipment Recommendation:
A 320-ton servo energy-saving plastic injection molding machine was recommended and upgraded to meet the specific requirements of thin-wall products.
Performance Enhancements:
Increased servo motor power from 33kW to 37kW to ensure stable output.
Boosted maximum hydraulic oil flow from 250L/min to 300L/min, significantly improving injection speed and efficiency.
Equipped with a specialized 65mm diameter barrel, achieving an injection speed of up to 172mm/sec.
Integration Optimization:
Ensured seamless coordination between the injection molding machine and in-mold labeling (IML) equipment, greatly reducing setup time.
Production Results
Reduced the production cycle time to 9 seconds, or 12 seconds with IML.
Achieved consistent shot volume with products fully meeting client requirements.
CLIENT FEEDBACK: TOP UNITE BRINGS NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO PRODUCTION
The client highly praised Top Unite’s expertise and technical support, stating: “Top Unite injection molding solution not only resolved our production bottlenecks but also placed us in a more advantageous position in the market.”

Small Size High Speed Plastic Injection Molding Machine
EHIII SERIES (50~140 Ton)
The small high-speed plastic injection molding machine is from 50 tons to 140 tons. It comes standard with a high-response servo valve and accumulator. During the assistance with the accumulator, the injection rate can reach 360mm/sec. The high-response servo valve detects the actual pressure and position of the injection by the transducer and then catches the feedback signal to adjust the output to reach a perfect closed-loop control. By the precision control of the injection, plasticizing, and holding switch-over to prevent causing flash or short-shot. If you need more detail of product catalog, please reach out to us.
